Texas Instruments CD4060BE CMOS Binary Counter/Divider, DIP 16, 3V to 18V

The Texas Instruments CD4060BE is a CMOS 14-stage ripple carry binary counter, divider, and integrated oscillator, presented in a 16-pin DIP package. This versatile logic IC is engineered for high reliability across a wide supply voltage range from 3V to 18V, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of digital design applications.

Its integrated oscillator configuration offers great flexibility, allowing designers to implement either RC or precise crystal oscillator circuits to generate the master clock. A dedicated reset input resets the counter to the zero state and simultaneously disables the oscillator, providing complete control over the timing sequence. All counter stages are master-slave flip-flops, advancing one step in binary order on the negative transition of the clock.

The device features fully buffered inputs and outputs for improved noise immunity and drive capability. A key characteristic is the Schmitt trigger action on the clock input line, which permits unlimited input pulse rise and fall times, ensuring stable operation even with slow or noisy input signals. It is fully static in operation, meaning it can maintain state indefinitely with a stable DC clock level.

Key Features & Applications

This IC is ideal for constructing control counters, precision timers, frequency dividers, and time-delay circuits. Its robust design meets all the requirements of the JEDEC standard JESD 13B, and it is 100% tested for quiescent current at 20V. With a clock rate of up to 12MHz at 15V and an extended operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, it is built for demanding environments.
